ROSMER,S STORY.
He Escaped Almost Naked. But
Fought Heroicaily TO Save Others.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt, Feb g.
When the relief train from White River
junction reached the wreck, the progress
of the flames had been so rapid that the
bridge and four ears had been practically
destroyed. A few burning timbers were
seen, and the iron work OF the bridge was
scattered over the ice. The only house
near the scene was that OF Thomas Pingree,
a farmer, and had it not been for his hos
pitable roof some of the injured would
doubtless have perished from exposure.
The baggage and mail cars afforded accom-
filodations for number of the wounded.
Charles NJ. Hosmer, of Lowell, Mass, who
was OH the train, states that e,was in a
Central Vermont sleeping car. He says:
l can remember twenty passengers who
were in the car with me. l know none of
them personally. There were five ladies
among them. I was awakened by the bump
ing Of the car. Then came the crash and all
was darkness and confusion. 1 do not re-

and underneath me whom we succeeded in
saving. but she was almost naked when we
had taken her out. 1t was necessary to tear
her clothing off to get her out. She proved to
be Mrs. Pryden, of Montreal. I think I was
the first person to get out. A Mr.. Hutchins,

Gossip Regarding Possible Impeach-

The Ant1-Civil Service Suit--Doings

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Representative
Weaver, of Iowa, stated to-day that he had
not denied at any time that there was a
movement in certain quarters to get up res
olutions of impeachment against Secretary
Manning. He said he denied having au-
thorized the publication, but did not deny
the truth Of the statement. On the con-
trary, he declared that the proposition to
take some decided action with regard to the
secretary's reply was under very serious
consideration. The fact is that there are a
great many silver men in the house who
have been talking about impeachment and
several have gone seriously into the
matter, or at least declared that they were
serious in it. Just what action the commit
tee on banking and currency will take with
relation to the secretary's reply is not
known. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that they will take such
decided action as the members who want to
impeach the secretary propose. The Dem
ocratic party cannot, of course, permit the
matter to go that far.
The Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Among the
papers submitted to the senate to-day was
communication from the secretary of the
navy, with report Of Lieut.. E. II. Taunt,

ton of Mr.. Allison, the house bill TO author
ize the construction of high wagon and
foot passenger bridge over the Mississippi

Mr.. Voorhees, offered a resolution to dis
charge the committee on territories from
further consideration of the house bill to
change the time of the meeting of the legis-
lative assembly of Washington territory,
and gave notice that he would call it up on
Monday. The senate then proceeded to the
consideration of pension bills on the
calendar. SiXty-six pension bills were
passed, among them the house bill
granting pension of $50 month to the
widow of Brig. Gen. Thomas Frances
Meagher; the house bill increasing the pen
sion of the widow of Col. James HemphiIl
Jones, of the marine CORPS from $40 to $40
